Its
name is Perth and it is the hearth of Scotland.
The
name Perth means wood or corpse and you'll see later that it deserves
its name.
Perth
has been known as The Fair City since the publication of the story Fair
Maid of Perth by Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott in 1828.
It has developed on the banks of the River
Tay.
The Perth Old Bridge is also known as
Smeaton's Bridge. Its construction began in 1766 and was completed in October
1771.
Years
have passed, there were many floods but the bridge stood firm.
This
is the Tay River's water.
This
is the pedestrian High Street.
Let
me introduce you the Fair Maid from High Street.
As you can see that is the Sandeman Public Library. I was wondering why
there are so many teenagers and I found out that it was converted in a huge
modern pub. It's the perfect place to sit, eat and drink and have a laugh with
friends.
Don't worry about the library, there's a bigger
one, the place where I am right now.
St.
John's Kirk is the oldest and most historically-significant building. It was
founded in 1126 but the majority of the present church was constructed between
1440 and 1500. Its role as a parish church continues even today.
There
are beautiful streets, houses and churches.
